Wow those are some great photos. I love that one on your opening page. You have got great talent....but I guess I don't need to tell you that. Just wanted to let you know I was really impressed.

Thanks. That was awfully nice to say. I'm still struggling with the differences in the micro-market, but so far it has been a positive experience. FYI, I separate my work in the area of kids fashion and advertising onto a different site if you are interested: http://www.danhowellkids.com

Yes I saw that and I checked out each and every one. You do a remarkable job of creating the true art of photography. You can really feel the mood of those pictures which can be hard to do. Give your self a pat on the back..

check out my National Parks pages http://cascoly.com/trav/us/np.asp to whet your appetite - havent been to Yellowstone for awhile, but Tetons and Glacier are excellent, and it's easier to get away from crowds, especially if you can wait til Sep or later for color. Same for Banff, Jasper area -- the Kananaskis area to the south of banff is great for hiking, and has many fewer people.

Just outside banff, Johnson creek is a neat little walk with a series of catwalks over a narrow canyon

when in Montana be sure to find a tavern that serves Moose Drool on tap

Steve.. thanks for the tips!! We are really looking forward to this trip. Enjoyed your pix... the ones you suggested and.. I took a tour thru your Acadia and other catalogs! Nice!!

For sure going to check out the Johnson Creek area. I like these kinds of hikes thru the gorges and flumes. If you are ever in upstate NH... a great flume style hike in Franconia Notch...

We've done many of the biggies west of the Rockies.. Yosemite, Sequoia, Grand Canyon, Arches... Yellowstone and Tetons still on my list.. Have done most of the east coast NP's... although not all that many out here...

I'll be checking in later in this fall to see what you've come up with on your next trip!! Soon as we get our public site up and running, I'll shoot you an address.

thanks... tom

Tom-When you get to Montana be sure and stop at Moose's Saloon in Kalispell. Great local "
watering hole".

we're staying at home this fall, but i've added Franconia to my list - my bro-in-law lives near burlington, and other inlaws in SE harbr maine, so we wander that way

if you hit the tetons, check out the smaller roads leading TO Moose from the south - good wildlife drives in the early morning, and little traffic; also Mormon Row in late afternoons for sunset colors

most parks are eaisly accessible by car, but Olympics and North Cascades really ned to be wlaked into - and have wonderful hikes and scenery. we hiked cross country in the olympics a few yrs ago and camped in a river valley, with a herd of rutting stags bellowing across from us each morning & evening as the herd came out to browse; then they'd disappear compeletely

I've written (emailed) Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Refuge requesting info on their 8-hour guided tour among the horses. Any knowledge of the area? Tom ... you interested in sharing such a tour?
